Tuning: E A D G B E
This riff is played throughout much of the song. I'm not sure if this is how Will plays it, but I think this sounds ok. If chords are written out like these, play the riff, if not play normal chords. This song, like many on Monomania, sounds much more bedroom pop inspired than many other Car Seat Headrest songs, as such reduced tone and healthy amounts of chorus and reverb help to achieve the sound used on the album.

N.C.

I waited for you on the eastern shore

N.C.
